Wellbeing

We are committed to ensuring a safe and happy environment for your child.

How we support student wellbeing

Yass Public School staff and community are committed to looking after the wellbeing of all our students.  There are many services students can access at school.

Wellbeing Team

Our wellbeing team manages our Positive Behaviours for Learning (PBL) program, including the fortnightly focus and whole school reward. The team also coordinate the many different "Lunch Clubs" we have available for students to enjoy.

Attendance Team

Our attendance team monitors and manages student attendance, and offers support to parents experiencing difficulties with attendance, including hosting workshops on school refusal. They also implement the attendance reward program, celebrating and rewarding good school attendance.

School Counsellor

We have a school counsellor two days per week. The counsellor can do behavioural assessments and cognitive assessments, as well as offer counselling for grief, trauma, and relationship issues. Parents can refer their child through the learning support team onto the counsellor.

Learning Support Team

Our learning support team meets fortnightly to discuss student achievement, individual support needs, attendance and linking families to services. Teachers can refer their students onto this caseload.

Breakfast Club

Breakfast Club operates everyday before school from the canteen building.

Kids Hope Mentors

Students have access to the Kids Hope Mentors program at our school. This program works with the Baptist Church and Yass Public School to connect selected students with a mentor. Mentors and their students spend one hour per week together to support student wellbeing.
